That’s fundamentally not how GPT models work, but you can easily build a framework around them that calls them in a loop; you’d need a special system prompt to get anything “thought like” that way, and if you want it to be anything other than stream-of-simulated-consciousness with no relevance to anything, and a non-empty “user” prompt each round, which could be as simple as time, a status update on something in the world, etc.
